I know the forecast isn't good. However from an entertainment point of view we know Bangs is missing and is Cooper still injured. Anyone else missing flights or had better offers? Apologies but the cynic in me is shining through!

Being a stars fan, I'm getting used to early dodgy call offs.....

Ipswich have announced teams and have Simon Lambert in place of bangs, so nothing to worry about there.....

Can only assume in coming team change soon ?

They need to stop using screws and use nut and bolts which will stop the gate hanging off the posts

Does anyone know the situation with Cooper Rushen? I'm aware he missed Redcar with the hand injury. But with the chronic rider shortage we seem to be pushing our up and coming riders to extreme limits.

He was going to be riding tomorrow, his injury wasn’t that bad

This is one of the reasons the sport is on its a#se, slightest risk of bad weather and the club will call it off early, wasnt a problem back in the day, mind you back then the riders didn't have the power they have now regarding the track being a bit iffy and them not fancy riding on it.

It really is digging its own grave this sport surely it’s the ref on the day calls it off. You can’t keep believing the so called weather experts

This is where we are at nowadays in the UK unfortunately. Riders just aren't interested in a wet track here when they can earn many multiples in Poland the next weekend. There is a 70-80% chance of showers all afternoon tomorrow and while they may miss Lynn clubs would rather not risk what we had at the Foxhole last Thursday I guess. The days of boilersuits and sawdust are long, long gone.

Maybe if the baby offset engines weren't so bloody fickle and everyone rode an engine that was more flexible, for want of a better term, less meetings would be called off as the bikes would be able to cope in conditions that varied a bit

Todays machines are far to powerful for the tracks
